Judge Cowden, of Gallipolis, was here
last week in the interest of insurance
companies. He is one of the most pleas
ant of gentlemen. Reuben Aleshire's
thresher had an accident to-day which
caused some breakage A pitchfork was
run through the machine. -. .Aleck Er-
lenwein is moving the Star meadow to-
day. 49,. Christina McKinsy, as she was
known here, was brought before the Pro-
bate Court to-day. She is wildly insane,
and her strange conduct was mystery
to those who saw her. Mr.. G. S. Dick
ason received a telegram tonight from
Circleville, announcing the death of
Thomas Miller, who had been keeping
hotel at that place for some time. He
was son of Mr. Samuel Miller, living
near this place, and his wife was a Milli-
ken n-.-...N. M. Whites Sabbath School
class. accompanied by few invited
friends, had a picnic at Canter Caves to-
day. While there some of the party found
what they supposed to be a young eagle
1t was savage bird and showed fight.
1t had very large, sharp claws, and a
strong beak, and was altogether fierce
looking bird. 1t was doubtless turkey
buzzard.

of Mr.. Robert Angel, of this place, died
yesterday of typhoid fever. The funeral
was conducted to-day at Jones Hall. by
Ralph Jones. Mr.. Angel has the sympa-
| thy of large circle of friends, and old
| soldier comrades. Deputy Sheriff
Long took the crazy woman, Chris. Free
man, to Athens to-day. She was a most
pitiable sight. The numerous show
ers caused the bringing in of large guam
titles of blackberries to-day, but the price
has gone up to fifteen cents. ...... The
young men ought certainly to quit scuf-
fling on the corner of Main and Broad
way, in the evenings. 1t has come to be
dangerous for lady or child to pass that
way -. Jimmy McCoart has been car
rying around a thoroughly bandaged head
the result of some kind of misunder-
standing with John Harbarger. I'VE
see by Portsmouth papers that Mrs. Wei
lington Evans and her daughter Halle
are at the Adams County Springs. "A
little child of Theodore Grose has been
quite sick for some time. -. Miss BERTHE

of of fhaI
streets. 1t is a cute rig. The little |
child of John T. Johnson, the hardware
man, is quite sick. 80. Howe has sold |
out all the machinery he had on hand.
The stones are hauled for fixing the
town pump location. During this hot
weather there is an almost constant
stream of water flowing from this pump,
and the old pump is rarely idle. 1t is a
great blessing, and there should be more
of them in town.
FRIDAY.-Another slight shower, but
still not enough to wet the dust. -. Jack
Gilliland, of Mabees, with his son, is in
to-day getting his moving machine re-
paired. Mrs. Alice McClung, wife of
Squire James McClung, returned to-day
from her Western trip. She is apparently
in splendid health. Mrs. Carrick, of
Pearl Street, has been seriously i'll for
some time, with rheumatism, and to-day
her friends became alarmed, but there
was slight change for the better. .....
Large quantities of blackberries came in
to-day. Parties shipping from this coun-
ty and the edge of Pike, to Washington
G. H., get 23c. per gallon for them. go.
Wellston friends claim to have received
word from Harvey Wells that the big
scheme is now an assured success. This

through town with his steam rig to-day

Capt. Cole Gillian is here..... Mrs. R. E.
Rice and daughter Matte, with Mr.. Allie
Ewing, returned from pleasant visit to
the family of Mr.. John Mcclure, at
Franklin Valley. -. The delegates re-
turned from the Cleveland Convention
with loud decorations on. They had a
good time. The fish has been placed
on top of the School House again, and
now We'll probably have better weather.
-. The folks on the street tell a rather
good joke On Dick Stiffier, or boy, or
both: A little son of James Chestnut
was taking the cow home, but stopped
along the street to play marbles, the COW
walking leisurely on, meantime. Dick
noticed the stray cow, and at once seized
her and started for the pound, not know
ing that a boy had been watching her.
Matters were explained, and the COW
went on home. There's an Oak Hill
team here tonight, and the whole team
seems to be drunk. There will be some
more cases of fast driving, perhaps.
SATURDAY.-Pearl Ray, spoken of in
another place as being in Jail on a charge
of stealing from the Railroad Company.
had strange way of securing property.
He would take the brake-chains from
cars, get them welded together into long
chains, them dispose of them. Com
missioner Edwards is in town. He will
shortly look after placing new bridge
at the site of the Waller bridge, in Jack
son Township. There may be some slight
changes made in the road in that neigh
borhood. wv. w. Pierce, who resides

the hot weather. His son had a ther-

one of those hot days, and along in the
evening the sun shone full against it, run
ming it up clear to the top, and shortly
afterward the bulb batrsted The boy re-
marked that it was the first thermometer
he had ever seen sunstruck. When it
gets so that the thermometers burst, what
are men to dol. 49,. Auditor Evans de-
clares that he has enjoyed better health
this summer than for long time. -.
